But he would end up on the other side of the elves.. | |

As I said in the answer: the ogre isn't actually 10 feet wide, that's just the space he controls. So he can move through a 5 foot wide gap, but it's cramped and he can't move freely. | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 15:57 | comment | added | HellSaint | This is backed up from p. 191 from the PHB as well: "Whether a creature is a friend or an enemy, you can’t willingly end your move in its space." | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 15:57 | comment | added | HellSaint | While I agree with the overall answer, I'm inclined to say the last paragraph is, at least, strange. If he stops between the elves, then two creatures are effectively occupying the same squares, which shouldn't happen. In a simulation point of view, I also see no reason as why the ogre would be squeezing and not the elves, who are now also being pushed against the wall. If you say it's because there are 2 elves, sure, then change it to 1 elf in a 10' corridor. I would rule the ogre can not stay in that space [...] | |

| Nov 28, 2014 at 4:11 | comment | added | Miniman | @Besty Sounds about right, charging between two armed opponents would be a great way to get large slashing wounds on either side of your body. | |
| Nov 28, 2014 at 4:05 | comment | added | Besty | Yes, your answer makes sense. This is sort of what I assumed would happen. I think that the trick is to fluff up an answer to the inevitable "why is the bug bear tip-toeing between us instead of charging through?" I think the answer is to say something like "He doesn't want to get too close to your swords, so he dodge/sqeezes through the gap." | |
